Please also read Project Overview and Audition Rules

The Children of the Veil arrive in One Mother’s Sanctum lost, disoriented, and with no memory of who they are or where they came from. The Sanctum receives them like this is normal, like it happens every day, because for the Order, it does.

This is where One Mother comes in. 

She and her Order take the Children in and give them what they don’t have: a name, a House, a job. A “purpose”. None of it is chosen. They are assigned, placed, and instructed, and the system is presented as care and protection. But it’s also control. The Children are trapped in her Sanctum, and the only life they are allowed to understand is the one she gives them. Whether One Mother is truly saving them or brainwashing them is the big question. 

The Children cannot rebel or refuse her choices or try unorthodox methods of leaving the Veil. Disagreement is treated as defiance. “Naughty” Children are sent to Mother’s Mercy to be reformed, and reform is agonising. Many who return come back …. different. 

Under One Mother. sits her Council, and under them Brothers and Sisters. Their job is to manage the Sanctum, keep order, and turn lost children into functioning parts of the machine. If the Children start asking the wrong questions too early, the routine answers for them.

And the thing is, it works. Most of the time. Purpose is easier than panic.

One Mother has the final say in everything. She rules the Holy Sanctum with  authority, but what she is, remains frustratingly unclear. She has many titles, none of them useful. Is she a goddess? A demon?  A cult leader with elite branding? She never claims divinity, and yet the inhabitants worship her like she is a goddess anyway. 

She doesn’t have as much screen time, but when she does, everything stops. One Mother is regal, composed, and terrifyingly authoritative. The Court rearranges itself around her without being told.

And then there’s Vaelinth, her younger vampire sibling, which only makes her feel more impossible. Because if she is something beyond understanding, why does she have a sibling at all? What does that make them. The Veil doesn’t explain. It simply exists. It offers no FAQ, only titles, rituals, and the quiet understanding that you do not ask the wrong questions too loudly.
